The child will grow up as Link progresses through the game. During this time, Blossom will ask Link for help and advice, which will determine what kind of person the child will grow into. Until he helps, the child's growth will be frozen. At the end of a normal game, the child will have grown into a young boy.

In a Linked Game, the child and his family will move to the new land, thus appearing in both games. Eventually he can grow up into one of four possible characters based on the advice Link provides to Blossom, becoming a drifter with no purpose in life, a musician, a swordsman, or a Gasha Seed farmer.
